Safari formatting - what am I missing?

Post by SarahW »

Hi,

Testing WebHelp in Safari. Auto numbering (for numbered steps and bullets) looks fine in IE6 & 7 and Firefox, but is all over the board on Safari. I've spent some time searching the forums, and other outside resources, but have come up empty.

Any advice/thoughts on things to check or change.

Thanks,

Sarah

What exactly do you mean by "all over the board"? I've noticed that the amount of indent is different between IE and FF if you go with the default (unspecified) indent. If you specifically set the left margin of the list in the stylesheet, then the outputs are closer to being the same. So if that's what you mean by "all over the board", then try specifying a left margin on the <ol> and <ul> tags.

I am testing on a Mac - version 3.1.1

By all over the board, I mean the indenting keeps increasing as either the numbered or bulleted lists 'grow'. For example, the indent between 1 and the text is as expected, a bit larger between 2 and text, a bit larger between 3 and text,...

I have set the left margins in the stylesheet, but perhaps I'll fiddle with them some more.

Thanks,

Sarah

Safari 3 and 3.1 both came out after the last release of Flare, so no rigorous QA has gone on to test against Safari 3.1 yet, If you are having issues with it, Please submitt a bug on it

Well, taking the time to really look into how I set things up shed a whole lot of light on what was going on. I had inadvertently added an inline style, which I now removed. Thanks for the help.
